Since 1981, Powered by Intelligence

Indigo Publications was founded in Paris a little over 25 years ago and now publishes eight newsletters, two series of reports and three professional Web sites.

At the outset, the Indian Ocean - In 1981, freelance newsman Maurice Botbol founded the Indigo Publications group and launched The Indian Ocean Newsletter, with the intention of examining political power plays, struggles for influence and major economic issues in East Africa, southern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands.

International Profile - Over the years, Indigo Publications expanded with the same objectives in mind by launching other publications that dealt respectively with West Africa, North Africa, the energy and mining industries, intelligence, business intelligence and the like. The group now publishes eight confidential newsletters, most of them in French and in English.

Exclusive Biographies - In 1995, the group began publishing a series of biographical reference works "The Top 100 People." Each work in the series presents the exclusive biographies of 100 true decision-makers in an African country.

Online Information - Starting from 1995, Indigo Publications positioned itself as a pioneer of online information, by launching the first Web site for strategic decision-making: Intelligence Online. In 1996, the group put the first professional portal on Africa on line, Africa Intelligence, which encompasses all of the Indigo group's publications on Africa.

Business Intelligence & lobbying - Becoming the French standard-setter on business intelligence, Indigo Publications put out a series of biographical works "Intelligence Online Reports" in 2004. The only publication of its kind, the first in the series "The Top 100 in Business Intelligence" presented the biographies of the 100 true decision-makers in the field in France. A second work appeared in 2005 and described the 100 leading players in corporate lobbying.

Power plays in France - Indigo Publications acquired La Lettre A, a publication founded in 1978 that examines the leading political and economic developments in France. At the same time the group inaugurated a Web site LaLettreA.fr.
